Crossville's
monthly cruise-in was a special event this month for a couple of
reasons: 1st, there was a sanctioned competitive BBQ and , 2nd,
two ofther Brit Car Clubs joined us so we could hold our own against
those Detroit Iron cars. We displayed 9 Brit cars from our club
plus another 7 from Knoxville EAS and Blount British Cars. Oh yes,
we also had a Mercedes 380SL. However we christened with the nonorary
title of Austin Bug Eye Sprite. The owners don't know that yet.
In all about 200 cars showed up, making for a great day in spite
of the 100°+ weather. And many thanks to Laurence & Janice
Vooght for the great photos. Pat and I forgot our camera.

Knoxville
European Auto Show

In July,
the Knoxville EAS held their April European Auto Show. The April
one was postponed due to forecasted severe weather. However it turned
out to be a sunshiny day. So when it was rescheduled for July 31,
no amount of dire weather forecasts would cause a cancellation.
And so it rained - and rained - and poured! While several PBCCTN
members attended, there were far more members than cars.
